Okay so um: I just did a massive, ridiculous, gigantor friends list massacre. I legitimately cut just under half the people I had friended. And, god, I do know being defriended can feel like crap even if you didn't know your defriender that well at all and I just want all of you to know that this really, really isn't personal. I know "it's not you, it's me" is a joke of a break up line for a reason, but this really is about me and not about anything being wrong with you. Most of you have been lovely, lovely friends to me and I feel like this is kind of unfair-- especially to those of you I've known for awhile now and those of you I haven't known long enough to really get to know well at all, but... I hope you understand? I haven't been as posty lately as I usually am and maybe you've noticed and maybe you haven't, but LJ is just too overwhelming for me and the internet... shouldn't be that way, you know? Also I'm totally one of those nerds who values knowing the people I have friended at least moderately well and I just... can't have that with 140 people friended, you know? I guess what I'm trying to say is: this has nothing to do with how much I "like" or "dislike" you. I like all of you, and I like your journals, and I did enjoy having you around, but I just can't keep up anymore. In any case I'm boring and you probably won't miss me. Anyway I'm friends with... a lot of you on other things like twitter and last.fm and... whatever else, so. Um. Maybe we can stay in vague touch there.

And I think this goes without saying, but if I did keep you and you'd like to be rid of me, feel free to extricate yourself. No hard feelings. (This goes both ways: if you think I've made a mistake, don't... not tell me. That, and not "omg ty for keeping me ♥♥♥" is what I've left comments open for).

SO UM: I'm sorry, and I hope you all have lovely, lovely lives.

So secondstar and I made a friending meme heeeeeere, which is your cue to spend the evening filling things out and making new friends? Because I said so?
